Patented Sept. 20, 1938 UNITED STATES- PATENT I OFFICE This inventionrelates to a new and imlnfoved lipstick and has for its object theprovision of an improved lipstick holder which in a single.

casing is intended to carry two lipsticks of different shades.

Another object of this invention is the provision of an improvedlipstick holder of simple construction and economical both as to themanufacture thereof and to the user, in that the purchaser is able toobtain two lipsticks of different shades in one casing.

At present, lipsticks are commercially sold having one lipstick which isof course limited to one particular shade. If a user desires various l5shades, then she must have more than one casing on hand. It is thereforethe principal object of this invention to provide a double barrelledlipstick casing which will house more than one colered stick.

It is now fashionable among lipstick users to vary the shades of theirlipsticks to correspond to their costumes or with the time of day, thatis, to use one shade of lipstick in the daylight and another byartificial light. With this novel lipstick, this change of shade canbe-accomplished simply by the use of one lipstick casing.

Other objects of my invention will be set forth in the followingdescription and drawing which illustrate a preferred embodiment thereof,it being understood that the above statement of the objects of myinvention is intended to generally explain the same without limiting itin any manner.

Fig. 1 is an elevation of the swivel type of lipstick casing.

Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 with one cap removed and a lipstickextending outwardly.

Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. i with both caps and outer casingsremoved.

Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 with both spiral casing membersomitted.

As shownin Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive, there is illustrated a lipstickcasing 0 having caps II and 45, and enclosing tubes 42 and N, havingswivel 45 actuating means 43.

As shown in Fig. 4, lipstick. guide holder members at and 41 areprovided with flanges. These guide members 46 and 41 are held togetherby,

the member 48. A lipstick holder 49a, having lipstick L slidably mountedin guide member 41, is provided with a pin-5il which slides in slot 52and projects above the surface of the member 51.

Now as shown in Fig. 3 the members 46 and 41 5 are provided with spiralmeans members 44 and 450. respectively. The member a; is provided withthe usual spiral groove Sc and the member 55a is provided also with aspiral groove Sa. In

addition the members Ma and 45a are" provided 1 with horizontal slots Sand Sb respectively. The

'slots'S and Sb are used when the pins 88 and 50 respectively areidling. Then, when looking at Figs. 1 and 3 the member 53 is turnedcounterclockwise, the pin 48 will idle in the slot S and in 15 slot 5|while the pin 50 will act against the side of the spiral slot Sc. andthe sidesof slot 52, and

the lipstick L will beprojected out of the casing 41. To repel thelipstick L the member 43 is rotated in a clockwise direction, and ifthis 1 have been removed, so as not to damage the lipsticks. 30

I have shown a preferred embodiment of my invention but it is clear thatnumerous changes and omissions can be made without departing from itsspirit.
